There are many ways of doing it. If you've done it in the past you can continue to do the same if it worked for you. Some might use a glass plate with sand paper, I use a shapton flattening plate with grit.
By the way I have the same hone and when I got it it needed no flattening it was dead straight. I don't use it much but it does work fine as is.
